People have time to discuss and learn. We are just not that stupid. And given we can make wages sane, there is ample time. Our First Amendment is predicated on that reality. If they actually do not, and in my experience they do, but for sake of argument, say they do not, ok? Then we need an actual public service with a charter to inform, not profit. That is something I totally support, and the very first thing it does is remedial education. I am fine either way, but much prefer we educate people to think for themselves as I was educated in freaking grade school. Yes, 6th grade. The topics were: Advertising forms and compare contrast to propaganda forms. (This was awesome. Everyone loved it, and we all made our own ADS and propaganda to boot.) Bias in news and opinion. Identify it, labor, big business, right, left, etc... determine whether the entity represents its bias honestly, or not. Why? Seek diversity of info. Bias is always there. Not a problem once identified. Liars about bias often miss facts and publish low clarity info, making it hard to differentiate fact from opinion too. Never a bad thing to think about. Drives seeking diversity. All the domestic major media today misrepresent their bias, and it is most often an economic misrepresentation. Almost nothing is published from the labor POV, for example. The little backassward town I came from got this right. Was not hard, was interesting, useful and became a part of who we were and how we operate. We could put an end to this garbage in a generation with similar education, coupled with a follow up on critical thinking basics. (Which I also got along with solid civics a couple years later.) Our ongoing efforts to water down basic, primary education has costs and risks attached. We are discussing those today. Time for a fix. Given this perspective, the Rogan show is good value, frankly and honestly presented. Many do much worse, and they claim a lot more legitimacy too.
